Item Details
This is a really heavy inkwell, woe betide anybody who drop this one on their toe.
Weighing in at a hefty 1,037 grammes, potential owners of contemporary desks might like to take this into account before purchasing!!
This piece is from John Grinsell & Sons; who have a very long track record in making leviathan like pieces combining; glass, crystal and silver. Yet most we have seen, still manage to look elegant and pleasing on the eye,
This is a simple, well executed inkwell whose bulk virtually disappears beneath its plain silver disc lid. It is surprising that it was actually a product of the Victorian era, but indicates that toward the end of her reign, new design was being explored and bought by the public.
